      Only apply for sales job if you are a young male and can’t think for yourself

      Pros

      For supposedly Open Source (it’s not really) the technology is good but in a super competitive and saturated market.

      Cons

      Leadership. Cut throat...like old school Oracle, EMC, PTC old school. If you are a female in sales run don’t walk away. If you are older (35+) you will be in super minority. Leadership wants you to be a robot and sell how they tell you.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Free lunch twice a week -Low deductibles in the US for benefits -Fully stocked kitchen -Exposure to senior leadership -Good product with high growth opportunity -Lots of employee events to build a sense of community

      Cons

      -Lots of politics (I would say more so than other NYC companies) -Lack of diversity in leadership (especially at the exec level) -Not a culture of development (there is no patience for development, if you aren't cutting it you get the boot) -No real feedback process(there is no formal talent review process which it makes it difficult to assess where you are at)

      Pros

      - Really loved how close knit my team was - Knew everyone in the office - Met some really great people and leaders in the industry - Picked up a lot of awesome skills that I still use to this day

      Cons

      - Met some really awful people - Engineers are so smart...they are also so not humble about - Some of the upper management were also incredibly intelligent..and most of them were not humble about. They created a culture of fear and not being able to ask questions or stumble without being made to feel stupid. Almost zero respect for the people that work below them. - Poor management/management training; I left because I was micro managed by an inexperienced manager who used me a guinea pig to learn. My manager did not have my back and pigeonholed me into a position and told that I would not be promoted or paid for work I was already doing just because there was no budget for it and and they needed someone to work two different roles for lesser pay.
